I was just wondering why you can't have gif avatars in VG Chartz, and if it's not to much trouble would it be possible to add it to VG Chartz?

It slows everything down, and in many cases they are pretty annoying

Yeh but some peoples sigs contain many gifs

Probably to keep people from having annoying animated GIF avatars. That is a good thing, and should not be changed.

ioi told us many times he didn't want to have them, I don't think he changed his mind.

I'm totally against them on this site.

I've seen some really cool ones over at a motorcycle forum I visit (very subtle but cool) and the vast majority of users didn't have them.

But I've never seen a good one at any video game forums, and when half the members have one they are so distracting.

Because of people like you. (Meaning people who would use and abuse them, thus ruining the forums even more, nothing personal).

They should take the gifs out of the signatures...

I am with him, I mean why include them in the sig slot but not the avatar? xD Granted, the site would turn into a bunch of bouncing boobs, or fighting anime battles, but I just don't see why you would include it in one area, but not the other xD

Because gifs are very annoying and distracting.
